staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

It appears there was a slight glitch with the OGR statsrun for Dec. 20th.
It appears that on that day, the work for the 19th was processed along
with the 20th. I’ll work on fixing this some time soon.

Thanks to Stanley Appel for pointing this out to me. }:8)

Moo from Chicago!

Sorry for the disruption in stats over the past few days. It’s been a bit
tricky trying to stay on top of things with travel and plans for the
holidays.

Tally is caught-up on RC5, and it’s about to start the daily run for 12/21
OGR. It will probably catch up on OGR sometime tomorrow, after tonight’s
RC5 run.

Blower is nearing completion; although I haven’t found time to work on it
the past few days. Hopefully I’ll find some time tomorrow or Wed.

Merry Christmas! Moo!

There was a hiccup in the 12/18 rc5 logs, which caused processing to fail.
This also caused the ogr logs not to run.

I’ve fixed the problem, and rc5 is now running. Since it will probably
take a very long time for tally to catch up with rc5, I’ve turned the web
access off for right now.

The good news is that blower is currently building indexes for all of the
tables that have been copied over from tally, so we’re getting closer to
having blower in production.

Copying the database is obviously taking longer than anticipated. I’m
hoping it will be done in the next hour.

In preparation for moving stats from tally to blower, I’ll be taking the
stats database off-line to copy the database files over to blower. I’m
hoping it will be less than 3 hours.

A logfile wasn’t transferred to tally from the master yesterday, so
yesterday’s rc5 run is missing a small amount of work. I’ll be re-running
the rc5 stats for yesterday to correct this, and to speed this up I’ve
turned off web access.

Having some issues with stats today. First, only 1/2 the logs for 9/25
were processed, so we’ll be processing that today. Hopefully, I can run
just 9/25 without redoing the past 5 days. Doing so will undoubtedly cause
some oddities on the stats pages though, so consider yourself warned. :)

Also, the past few days haven’t run due to a disk space issue.

Statsrun didn’t happen last night due to missing logs. As soon as I get
the logs on tally, I’ll start the run. This only affects RC5.

The 9/05 run is in progress. I’ve turned web access off for the next hour
to give it a bit of a head start. I’ll probably turn web access off again
later tonight for another few hours. Hopefully, we should be back to normal
by tomorrow night.

Sorry for the delays.

I’m not certain if the 9/5 run crashed or not, but some of the logfiles
are definitely missing from tally. As soon as the logfiles get transfered
over, I’ll be re-running rc5 stats from 9/5 to today.
